2. Product Overview

2.1 RESIONE F69 Flexible 3D Printer Resin

The RESIONE F69 is a flexible resin designed for 3D printing, offering properties similar to rubber. It is characterized by its flexibility, tear resistance, and folding resistance, making it suitable for various applications requiring elastic or deformable parts.

Key Characteristics:

Flexibility and Durability: Shore hardness of 60-75A. The printed material is soft above 20°C and becomes harder and more impact-resistant at 5°C. It exhibits superior tear strength and can withstand thousands of folds.
Fine Detail Reproduction: Engineered to produce sharp and clear details in printed models.
Ease of Use: Formulated with a release agent to minimize adhesion to the FEP film during printing, ensuring smooth layer separation. The resin's composition helps maintain part integrity during printing, preventing deformation.
Versatile Application: Ideal for figure toys, footwear, seals, gaskets, transmission belts, flexible prototypes, and various doll accessories.

3. Safety Guidelines

Working with 3D printer resin requires adherence to strict safety protocols. Failure to follow these guidelines can result in personal injury or property damage.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, including nitrile gloves and safety glasses, when handling resin or cleaning tools.
Ventilation: Use resin in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes. Consider using a respirator if ventilation is inadequate.
Skin Contact: Avoid direct skin contact with liquid resin. If contact occurs, wash immediately with soap and water. Do not use alcohol to clean resin from skin.
Eye Contact: In case of eye contact, flush eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not ingest resin. If ingested, do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.
Storage: Store resin in its original opaque bottle, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Disposal: Dispose of uncured resin and contaminated cleaning materials according to local regulations. Cured resin can typically be disposed of as regular plastic waste. Never pour liquid resin down drains.
Flammability: Keep resin away from open flames and ignition sources.

4. Setup

4.1 Resin Preparation

Ensure the resin bottle is at room temperature (20-25°C) for optimal viscosity.
Shake the resin bottle thoroughly for at least 1-2 minutes before each use to ensure pigments and components are evenly mixed.
Carefully pour the desired amount of resin into your 3D printer's resin vat. Avoid overfilling.

4.2 Cleaning Kit Preparation

Before handling any resin or cleaning tasks, put on a pair of liner gloves, followed by a pair of nitrile gloves from the kit.
Prepare your workspace by laying down cleaning cloths to protect surfaces from resin spills.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Using RESIONE F69 Resin for Printing

Printer Settings: Refer to your 3D printer's manual for recommended exposure settings for flexible resins. Initial layer exposure times are typically longer, and normal layer exposure times may vary based on printer type (LCD/DLP/SLA) and power. Start with recommended settings and adjust as needed.
Printing Environment: Maintain a stable room temperature (20-30°C) during printing to ensure consistent resin performance.
Post-Processing (Washing): After printing, carefully remove the model from the build plate. Wash the printed part in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or a dedicated resin cleaner for 2-5 minutes to remove uncured resin. Use a soft brush if necessary for intricate details.
Post-Processing (Curing): Cure the washed model using a UV curing station or direct sunlight until fully hardened. Curing times vary based on UV light intensity and model thickness. Ensure the model is completely dry before curing.

5.2 Using the Cleaning Tool Kit

Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining your 3D printer and ensuring print quality.

Cleaning the Build Plate: Use the plastic scraper to carefully remove any cured resin residue from the build plate. Wipe the build plate with a cleaning cloth dampened with IPA.
Cleaning the Resin Vat: If there is uncured resin in the vat, use a paper funnel to filter the resin back into its original bottle. This removes any cured particles or debris. Then, use a cleaning cloth and IPA to gently clean the FEP film and the interior of the resin vat. Be extremely careful not to scratch the FEP film.
General Cleanup: Use cleaning cloths to wipe down any resin spills on the printer or workspace.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Resin Storage

Always store RESIONE F69 resin in its original opaque bottle, tightly sealed, to prevent exposure to light and air.
Keep the resin in a cool, dry, and dark environment, ideally between 15-30°C. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Ensure the bottle is stored upright to prevent leakage.

6.2 Printer and Vat Maintenance

Regularly inspect the FEP film in your resin vat for any damage, scratches, or cloudiness. Replace the FEP film if necessary to ensure print quality and prevent resin leaks.
Keep the printer's LCD screen clean and free of dust or cured resin. Use a soft, lint-free cloth and IPA for cleaning.
Ensure the build plate is clean and properly leveled before each print.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues encountered during resin 3D printing. For more specific issues, consult your 3D printer's manual or the RESIONE support resources.

Table 7.1: Common Troubleshooting Scenarios
Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Prints not sticking to build plate	Improper leveling, insufficient bottom exposure, cold resin, dirty build plate.	Re-level build plate, increase bottom exposure time, warm resin to room temperature, clean build plate thoroughly.
Failed prints / Partial prints	Incorrect exposure settings, FEP film damage, resin contamination, insufficient supports.	Adjust exposure times, inspect/replace FEP film, filter resin, add more supports in slicing software.
Sticky / Soft prints after curing	Insufficient washing, inadequate curing, old/expired resin.	Wash prints longer or with fresh IPA, increase UV curing time, ensure resin is within shelf life.
Resin leaking from vat	Damaged FEP film, loose screws on vat.	Immediately stop printing, drain resin, replace FEP film, tighten vat screws.
